A japanese Kids show made popular by it's fansubbing by the acclaimed dattebayo. This show opens and ends with crazy complex "Pythagoras Switches" which usually involve marbles, dominos and tubes. At the end or each of these rube Goldberg inventions the name of the show is revealed followed by children singing "Pitagora Suicchi". Because it's a kids show it tries to teach basic speech skills making it a fun way for the average English speaking japanophile to get a beginners grasp of Japanese. The show has also gained some popularity over you-tube which is filled with people performing the so called "algorithm march" which is usually done by tmen in suits in the middle of the show. They often have accompanyment in the form of soccer teams, and ninjas.

Pythagors' theorum allows one to calculate the lenght of the "opposite" side (That is, opposite to the right angle) in a right-angled triangle By knowing only the lengths of the other two sides. It can also be mixed with the sine and cosine rules, trigonometry and such to calculate every angle and side length in pretty much any structure. Practical uses involve the measurement of buildings and such.
The method:
•Use the same unit of measurement for all sides.
•Sqaure the lengths of the two shorter sides
•Add the sqaures of the numbers toghether
•Find the sqaure root of that number
•Your answer is the length of the longest side.

. B
Side A is 5cm, side B is 4cm and side C is unknown.
A- 5x5= 25 square cm
B- 4x4= 16 square cm
25+16= 36
Square root of 36= 6.
Side C is 6cm.
Of course, this can also be worked backwards to find the length of the smaller sides, provided there are at least two sides given.
If you try to practically apply this with any lengths other than those given, you will end up with decimals. The above example is the only one that does not end in decimal places.

Simply put, in a triangle, the square of the hypoteneuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Simple as that.
the pythagorean theorem, in a simple mathematical formula, is: a² = b² + c²
where a is the hypoteneuse and b & c are the other two sides

Get the pythagoras theorem mug.An often used and renowned theorem by Pythagoras in the field of geometry and mathematics. It states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle and also the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
It is commonly written as a^2+b^2=c^2, where c denotes the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b denote the lengths of the other two sides.
It is commonly written as a^2+b^2=c^2, where c denotes the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b denote the lengths of the other two sides.
Pythagoras' Theorem is often used to calculate the length of any one side of a right-angled triangle when given the lengths of the other two sides.

Also known as "Pytho"
He is respected very simillarly to Lord Voldemort, as people are afraid of the Pythagorean Therom powers that this almighty Lord of the Triangles has.
People are generally scared of anything mathematical as once they start thinking about Pythagorean equations, their souls are slowly taken away.
